"He is filing that away where he can find it," he thought to himself. And far into the night he could see reflected on the roof a faint glimmer from Stair's dark-lantern. His curiosity was aroused, and he looked into the gloomy kitchen with the heaped peats filling all the space even to the roof.
Something glittered ominously at the end of his outstretched arm. "If you make any noise, sir, I'll have to plug you, sir," he said in polite but muffled tones. The candle slipped from my fingers, and the three of us stood in darkness! There was a clicking sound, and the glare of a dark-lantern struck my blinking eyes. "Pick up the candle, sir," said the tranquil voice from behind the light.
She went thither with a dark-lantern, which could but twinkle like a glow-worm through the volume of obscurity that filled the great dusky edifice. Groping her way up the aisle and towards the chancel, she sat down on the elevated part of the pavement above Shakespeare's grave.
When Noël and H.O. had roasted their legs by the fire till they were so hot that their stockings quite hurt them, one of them must have said to the other I never knew which: "Let's go and have another look at that cellar." The other whoever it was foolishly consented. So they went, and they took Oswald's dark-lantern in his absence and without his leave.
At length they approached the tower, with silent and cautious steps. The cavalier received a dark-lantern from his companion, and threw off his cloak. The other then softly brought something from the clump of trees, which Antonio perceived to be a light ladder: he placed it against the wall, and the serenader gently ascended.

Rupert opened it, and when he saw what was inside, he laughed again, and stowed it away in his pocket. "Quick, quick!" urged Rischenheim. "We've got what we wanted, and somebody may come at any moment." A brief hope comforted me.
Damon!" exclaimed Tom in delight, at the sound of his friend's voice. "I believe he can help me get evidence against Andy Foger. I wonder I didn't think of it before! The very thing! I'll do it!" The Empty Shed "Bless my dark-lantern! Where are you, Tom?" called Mr.
It was all the work of an instant, and so quickly and quietly done that our friends in the alley were not aware of our capture until we had secured our prisoner and Lossing had gone to summon Dave. Then, still in utter silence, we led our first capture across the alley, and Murphy flashed a dark-lantern in his face.
The government, cognizant of their existence, and able to produce abundant evidence against the ring-leaders whenever it chose to do so, wisely paid little heed to these dark-lantern proceedings, though, as was perhaps natural, military officers commanding the departments in which they were most numerous were inclined to look upon them more seriously; and Governor Morton of Indiana was much disquieted by their work in his State.
Altamont stood in the doorway and inspected the interior with his flashlight; he heard somebody behind him say something about a most peculiar sort of dark-lantern. Across the small room, on the opposite wall, was a bronze plaque. The plaque carried quite a lengthy inscription, including the names of all the persons and institutions participating in the microfilm project.
